The usual RRP for £11.99 is certainly worth the price of admission, but this listing will save you a few pounds on that in one of the cheapest prices for Journey we've seen for some time. With it being a Cross-buy title you'll be able to download and play it on both PS3 and PS4. We awarded Journey a perfect score back in 2012, describing it as "a game that exhibits pure joy" and that "the end result is something inherently euphoric, deeply personal and, dare I say, even a little bit spiritual as well."

As the title of this post states, the PS4 version of thatgamecompany's award-winning title Journey will be arriving on the PSN Store on July 21st. To celebrate, Sony have released a brand new trailer to show off the game in all its artistic glory, which has been ported to the PS4 by UK-based studio Tricky Pixels. Best of all, it will be a cross-buy title, meaning those of you who have bought it already on PS3 will be able to download it and play again at no extra cost. With it being a cross-buy title it will cost £11.99 when it releases if you don't own it already (cheers to SJH for the heads-up!) so you could always prepare for it by looking out for some cheap PSN gift cards with our handy guide.

There were plenty of reports surrounding Journey's development -- from multi-million dollar budgets to thatgamecompany going bankrupt as a result of the game -- and Jenova Chen has revealed that only now has the studio finally begun to receive royalties based on sales of the game.

This collection encompasses ThatGameCompay’s previously download-only games including Flow, Flower and Journey. I’ve reviewed all three and discussed the extras also included.

Flow

The first time I played Flow six years ago, I started it late and ended up glued to the screen until 6am. It’s an experience you can just be swallowed up in. Just as it gets difficult, it expands and resets.

You play as a basic underwater life form that must eat smaller creatures in order to grow. The game takes place on a series of 2D stages and movement is controlled by turning the PS3 SixAxis controller with a press of any button making you move faster. As with all of ThatGameCompany’s PS3 games, there isn’t a heads-up display and next-to no tutorial, but you should find this an easy experience to get into.

Smaller creatures are eaten by swimming into them mouth-first. Certain creatures enable you to grow faster, eventually gaining new body parts, making you a more dangerous predator. Larger foes can be taken on, but you’ll need to attack their tails first, and then retreat when they retaliate. Any hits you take could result in diminished growth.

Soothing experimental art game Flower will be lazily drifting its merry way to the PlayStation Vita, at least according to a listing of this year's IndieCade E3 lineup. The independent game booth accidentally leaked the thatgamecompany port as part of a press release, though we don't have anything resembling a release date as-yet.

We've got the full IndieCade lineup after the break, courtesy of Polygon. Just in case you, erm, happen to be in LA next month.

Journey exists for me now as a collection of glorious, almost ethereal memories, as if my three playthroughs of thatgamecompany's emotional, evocative experience were part of some waking dream.

Of course, much of that has to do with Austin Wintory's majestic, Grammy-winning orchestral score, which he's uploaded to YouTube with a bunch of screens, artwork, and insightful annotations giving interested parties a rather compelling look into the making of the soundtrack.

Thatgamecompany's Jenova Chen has suggested that the time is not quite right for his company to enter the crowdfunding game just yet, noting that the most successful campaigns from the past year have been those from veteran developers trading on nostalgia.

As far as I'm aware, the Journey Collector's Edition won't be coming out in Europe, making an import your only option. However, 365 seems to have dealt with the importing bit themselves, offering an attractive £23.99 price including delivery. This NTSC (region free) collection contains Journey, Flower, flOw, three extra games and some bonus content, making it a bit of a bargain for thatgamecompany fans.

CAVEAT: the bundled free month of PlayStation Plus and exclusive avatars can only be downloaded if you have an NTSC account, being as download codes are region specific. Even though games aren't. Haven't quite puzzled that one out yet, to be honest.

Exeter Cathedral: 'Gaming Could Transcend Age And Culture Gaps'

Last Sunday, Exeter Cathedral's clergy incorporated thatgamecompany's Journey into their evening service, letting the congregation play it and explore their relationship with God through a game. Ministers believe that games could potentially provide a "really creative way" of engaging with church-goers, and that "anything that helps people to make connections with God and express something of a response to God is worth exploring."

Sony and thatgamecompany have now fully confirmed the Journey Collector's Edition: a physical retail compilation containing Journey, Flower, flOw, a documentary, OSTs, three original minigames and a one-month trial subscription to PlayStation Plus. This new trailer aptly illustrates how utterly gorgeous thatgamecompany's lineup proved to be as well as showing off the new features.

The Journey Collector's Edition hasn't been confirmed for Europe as-yet, but here's hoping.

UPDATE: According to thatgamecompany, the Journey Collector's Edition will not be coming to Europe due to localisation costs. At least it's region free. thatgamecompany will also be enquiring whether Sony can make the extra content available on PSN.

Thatgamecompany clammed up after confirming the existence of theJourney Collector's Edition last week. We knew this boxed retail compilation would contain Flower and flOw as well as the recent arty phenomenon, but a full-page advert in OPM US (below) has now revealed what else to expect.

Namely: some PlayStation Plus membership, three brand new minigames, an exclusive documentary and "much more."

The Journey Collector's Edition hasn't yet been confirmed for a European release, but here's hoping. After all, a perfect 10 title deserves a nifty CE.

Superannuation recently spotted a Gamefly listing for something called the Journey Compilation, dated for August 2012, which got us all rather excited. thatgamecompany has now confirmed that a physical PS3 compilation is indeed headed to retail, and will contain Journey, Flower and flOw.

"Yes, the ‪#JourneyPS3‬ Collector's Edition is a thing," read the Twitter update, "and it includes ‪#flOwPS3‬ and ‪#FlowerPS3‬, but we can't say anything more."

So there. We'll find out more details soon, including whether it's headed to Europe.

Another week, another interview with Jenova Chen slamming the current array of video games for not being intellectually stimulating. This time around, Chen has suggested that the games industry is doing adults a disservice by not offering a huge deal by way of emotional and intellectual stimulation.

"My biggest complaint for computer games so far is they are not good enough for adults," says Chen.

Do you own a PS3? Well, if you do, that means you're probably more likely to be interested in "artistic games" than if you're a humble Wii or Xbox 360 owner...at least according to thatgamecompany's Jenova Chen.
